EQM: 45,572
EQS: 20
As of today, my offer is as follows:
AAdvantage Platinum: $1,479.00
I don't plan to go for this, because I'd rather spend it (as a free agent) on airfare.
I'm with you, not planning on having AA status next year; going to try out UA instead. Although, surprised you're offer was more than mine, but it almost looks somewhat random.
Current Status: EXP
EQD: $1,1xx
EQM: 22,xxx (but 10k from Citi AA card)
EQS: 8
No travel planned on AA for the rest of the year, but with 4 SWUs, may decide to fly AA for our EOY trip to Asia.
Offers: Gold $699
Plat $1,299
